I actually really enjoyed reading your reviews. A few months back I went on a weird binge and read a good chunk of them. Although your Gears 2 reviews seems to fall into that category of failed to meet the hype lol :P[QUOTE="AcidSoldner"][QUOTE="NeonNinja"]
I said "as unbiased as you can" not absolutely unbiased. :P
I know it's impossible to do so, but you have to try and keep your expectations in check, which is what I always do. So when a game disappoints me, that means it's bad on its own merits and not just hype. I try to reel in all expectations and take each game as its own creation.

There were a few times where I fell victim to it. Gears of War 2 is certainly one such review. I think Quake 4 was another (which I want to give another shot to and re-review, but that's neither here nor there). Honestly, after I played Gears of War 2 I was so ticked off with how bad it was that I took a 6 month break from videogames. :P
Damn son, six months? That's intense lol. I actually just went and read your Quake 4 review and even though I'd rate it higher, I think it's spot on a lot of things and doesn't feel like it fell to the hype; you were just more critical of th games flaws which is fair as far as I'm concerned.
